I'm using blue rope light for night lighting on the layout. I have it on a dimmer so that I can control the amout of light. The efect looks like this:
Here is a photo of the installation.

Hi,
I'm currently building the lightning for my tripledecker. So far I've gone with normal incandescent light bulbs so that I can dim them for night running. But I have an idea. I could use LED lightning strings instead of the dimming. Run them separately from the normal bulbs and get a nice blue light for night running. Anyone out here doing this or have any experience from it?
In my mind it looks like a real nice idea with some really cool effects created. The layout would be almost dark with just the houses, trains and other layout features casting a clear light on things.
The lights are about 30-40 cm from the layout and only the top two levels would use this. The lowest one is staging.
So, any opinions?
Magnus
